"Data Catalog"

Explain the meaning of a data catalog.

What is a Data Catalog?

A data catalog is a system for organizing, classifying, and managing data assets held by companies and organizations. Data that defines the attributes and characteristics of data is called metadata, and a data catalog can be thought of as a catalog that manages that metadata. Companies that hold huge amounts of data often face problems with data discovery, analysis, and the reliability of the data itself. Data catalogs are used to solve these problems.

By introducing a data catalog, you can connect to various databases such as in-house data warehouses and data lakes to collect and manage data metadata.

Metadata describes the structure and attributes of each piece of data, the date and time it was created, who created it, etc. Therefore, by using a data catalog, you can easily find the location of the data you need and use, share, and protect it.
